Aftergods Announced as a Mythological Survival RPG Where Players Rebuild the World After Ragnarok — original editorial gaming news illustration

Norsfell, the developer behind Tribes of Midgard, has announced Aftergods, a new top-down action RPG combining survival mechanics, crafting, cooperative play and mythology drawn from several ancient cultures. The game takes place after Ragnarok, when the gods have lost their power and the world has collapsed into a collection of shattered realms. Players control Godborn characters descended from different pantheons, including Norse, Greek and Egyptian mythology. Their task is to restore the Seeds of the World Tree and gradually rebuild a functioning divine civilisation. A central mechanic involves Nectar, a limited resource that allows characters to maintain their supernatural abilities. When it runs out, powerful divine forms become vulnerable mortal bodies, turning resource management into an important part of combat and exploration. Players can also rescue survivors, establish settlements, automate activities through followers and transform into mythical creatures to navigate the environment. Norsfell promises both offline single-player support and cooperative multiplayer, an encouraging commitment in a market where some developers seem convinced that every game must remain permanently connected to a server. The studio says Aftergods is its most ambitious project so far. No release date has been announced, but versions are planned for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The concept has considerable potential because it combines familiar survival systems with a setting that allows for spectacular abilities and unusual environments. Apparently rebuilding civilisation is much easier when somebody can summon lightning to collect firewood.
